International Friendly

 

Wednesday 9th December 2009

 

Grasshoppers Zurich 2  v Manchester City 1

Mak 41 mins

 

In their first of two friendly games in Switzerland , City lost to a last minute goal .

 

It was a game of two contrasting styles, City with their physical robustness and Grasshoppers with their technical skills

 

Midfielder Vullnett Busha gave the home side the lead on 19 minutes but a fine solo effort by Robbie Mak, levelled the scores just before the half time break.

 

Despite opportunities for both sides it was not until the final minutes of the game that the fixture had a decisive outcome, with Steve Zuber scoring in the 89th minute, to give the home side a win.
